NOTE
Analyzing your blood glucose results
stored in the meter is an eective way for
you and your healthcare professional to
determine how well you are controlling
your diabetes. This analysis is a valuable
tool for making improvements to your
diabetes management. Use care when
adding comments to blood glucose
results. Incorrect comments can cause
inaccurate patterns to be detected by the
meter if Patterns is On.
A Pattern is detected by the meter when
2 below-target (Low Pattern) or
3 above-target (High Pattern) test results
with the same comment are detected within
a 7-day period.
• The meter does NOT detect a pattern for
the “Other” comment added to blood
glucose results.
• It is very important to have the correct time
and date set in the meter. Having the
correct time and date setting helps ensure
accurate interpretation of information by
you and your healthcare professional.
• Only blood glucose results marked with
comments will be included in Patterns. If
LO or HI test results are marked with
comments, the test results become part of
Patterns (see the chapter Blood Glucose
Tests for more details).
• Target Ranges must be set in the meter to
use Patterns. If Target Ranges is not set,
the meter prompts you to set it.
